Martin Bashir's Boner

Martin Bashir, co-anchor of ABC's Nightline has apologized for this remark, made at an event sponsored by the Asian American Journalists Association:

"I'm happy to be in the midst of so many Asian babes," he said onstage, with his 20/20 colleague Juju Chang nearby. "In fact, I'm happy that the podium covers me from the waist down." He then noted that a speech should be "like a dress on a beautiful woman -- long enough to cover the important parts and short enough to keep your interest -- like my colleague Juju's."
